Bullshit. I know that you posted the "hippy" remark on the 17th, and fremoved it after my response, and further removed it from my quote. This is abuse of a power that you should not still have.
I never made any claim, implicit or explicit, to say that bonobos are violent just like chimps.
What you did was to be so vague about the issue that people would have replaced one myth with another - ie that bonobos use violence in the same way as chimps. In science, you have to be more precise - the problem was with what you "never said", to use your own words.
